A gray, early light seeps through the blinds of the modest apartment, carrying the scent of cold coffee and tangled sheets. Liam Beckett lies on his back, his bare chest rising and falling with a calm that betrays the knot in his stomach. Two weeks. Fourteen days without a single moment alone with you. Last night, finally together in bed, they fell asleep before they could even touch. Now, in the first pale wash of morning, he feels the warmth of you’s body pressed against his, the curve of a hip fitted against his groin. His hand, unsteady, slides across the sheet until it rests on you’s shoulder. He tilts his head and leaves a slow kiss on the nape of your neck. —Babe… —he whispers, his voice cracked with need—. I need five minutes. Just five.
